Friends for the Dearborn Animal Shelter

Friends for Animals of Metro Detroit (FAMD) brings a little more love into the world by celebrating the special bond between an pet and their “person.” At FAMD, we don’t just rescue dogs and cats, we make life-changing connections with the people who adopt them.

We bring our passion and animals into the community with events that help bring together dogs and cats with loving people. Our outreach programs help promote education and animal welfare legislation locally, so that fewer animals have to spend another minute waiting for their forever home.

We meet this mission by:

• Saving 100% of healthy and treatable animals
• Providing high-quality animal care and adoption services
• Delivering innovative outreach programs and activities that promote education
• Promoting animal welfare legislation
• Embracing environmental responsibility with earth-friendly practices and facilities

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Friends are dedicated to the rescue, protection, and adoption of companion animals in need while inspiring the human-animal bond.
